Freelance Translators Index (ttFTI)
Find out how busy other translators are right now
This service is designed to make freelance translators aware of the current
state of affairs in the translation industry.
I don't know about you, but I get a lot of people emailing me when they
haven't had much work for a week or two.
Break out of the isolation
Since freelance translating is an isolated profession, I thought it would be a good idea
to let people find out quickly and easily how busy other translators are.
This will enable you to not feel worried and isolated. If other people
are also going through a slow period, maybe it's time to relax and take
a holiday, or do your accounts?
Ongoing Project
So this will be an ongoing project. I will reset the survey every 30 days
and publish the results in the form of an index (like the stock market
indices e.g. FTSE 100 or Dow Jones index).
If you are a professional freelance translator, please come and vote
every month.
If you are not a professional freelance translator with an established business,
please do not vote because your low answers will distort the true picture.

Current Value of ttFTI
ttFTI is currently...
...which means that in the last 30 days, the average freelance translator has been
occupied. A result of 100% would be achieved if everyone worked 25 days out of every 30.
